The Modern Field Camera, Born for Focus

The HSINCAM FM45 is a modern 4x5 large format technical camera, meticulously engineered for photographers who demand both precision and portability. Born from the real-world experiences of its designer, Hsing-ya Lin, the FM45 addresses the pain points of traditional large format photography with contemporary design and uncompromising craftsmanship.

It is not just a camera; it is a reliable, precision instrument designed to be an extension of your creative vision, allowing you to focus solely on the image.

Key Philosophy: A Balance of Strength, Precision, and Portability

• Unwavering Stability, In Any Environment: The core frame is CNC-machined from a single block of aerospace-grade aluminum alloy, complemented by Japanese Toray carbon fiber components. This hybrid construction ensures exceptional rigidity and resistance to environmental changes (heat, cold, humidity), providing a rock-solid platform for your lens and film back.

• Effortless Precision with Geared Movements: At the heart of the FM45 is its all-metal, high-precision geared drive system. Say goodbye to the friction, slip, and uncertainty of traditional knob-locking mechanisms. Every adjustment—focusing, rise/fall, tilt/swing—is buttery smooth, accurate to the micrometer, and completely intuitive.

• Designed for the Field: While offering the precision of a studio camera, the FM4s's intelligent folding design collapses into a compact form factor (220x190x90mm). At approximately 2kg, it is built to journey with you, from urban architecture to remote landscapes.

Features in Detail

• New "Luminous Silver" Finish: A brilliant and durable anodized silver finish that not only protects the camera but also accentuates its fine machining and clean lines.

• Extended Creative Control with Standard Rear Tilt: The rear standard comes standard with a -20° backward tilt capability. This is a crucial feature for landscape photographers, allowing for greater control over the plane of focus (Scheimpflug principle) to achieve stunning front-to-back sharpness without needing to stop the lens down excessively.

• Precision Scale for Front Standard Movements: The front standard now features a finely engraved measurement scale. This is especially valuable when working with wide-angle lenses, providing a clear, repeatable reference for precise adjustments and ensuring perfect alignment.

• Universal Compatibility: The FM45 is designed to integrate seamlessly into your existing workflow, featuring a Linhof-type lens board mount and a base compatible with the ARCA-SWISS standard, alongside 1/4” & 3/8” tripod threads.
